BengalszoneBilly Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 I guess Hoosier is busy actually working this morning, so I'll start it. The way I see it this isn't going to be an easy game by any means. The Rams are very physical, (as seen by what they did to the Ravens yesterday) and are excellent putting pressure on the QB and collapsing the pocket. Given that and the injuries incurred by our secondary yesterday, it'll be tougher than the teams records suggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that and the injuries incurred by our secondary yesterday, it'll be tougher than the teams records suggest. Maybe. The flip side of the argument is that the Rams offense is downright abysmal. Right now they're 31st in the league in both points and yards. Even Todd Gurley's legs haven't been able to raise those numbers. Case Keenum got concussed yesterday so it'll likely be back to Nick Foles Sunday. While there are no east games even our banged-up secondary ought to be able to handle that.

HoosierCat Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 On the Rams injury front, in addition to the Keenum concussion, St. Louis also lost starting RT Andrew Donnel to a knee injury yesterday. Speculation by the local press is that he's done for the year. Donnel was already subbing for initial starting RT Rob Havenstein, who was inactive with an ankle injury.

Scottishbengal Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 It's ok, no need to panic, we're at PBS and we never lose 2 in a row when we're at home right..... oh wait, what happened last year vs Cleveland and Pittsburgh?? And 2012 vs Miami, Pittsburgh and Denver??? or 2010 - Tampa, Miami, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, New Orleans ..... You get my point. I still think losing the Houston was a pivotal point of the season and even though the Cardinals was a close run defeat whether we take the AFCN title or not, whether we have a wild card or first round bye in the postseason could very well hinge on the Houston game. Whilst I would fully expect Cincy to win vs St.Louis, and win fairly comfortably, I had that same expectation against Houston. I'll let the emotions from Arizona calm down afore I post a prediction but I think there will now be huge pressure on Cincy to stop the rot on Sunday and that could have an influence on the game (maybe the cause of excessive penalties like we've seen in the past 2 games) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingwilly Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Dennard getting hurt is a bummer. The secondary is now thin and weak, with Dre being exposed, and Hall being confirmed as the new "Toast". Hall really shouldn't be on the field. Shaw and CLH will need to step up. I don't see them bringing anyone in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that CLH and Shaw are first up, but I expect them to sign someone. They don't have a DB on the practice squad so there's no one ready to bring up. So they'll probably want a guy for depth and practice at least. Ghee was let go on final cutdown day,I could see them bringing him in. Of course he'd probably be on IR a week later himself...

Stripes Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 I'm not so sure that's a break. Rawls has been on fire. Anyway, this looks like another tough game to me that bears a lot of similarities to the matchup with Houston. I expect the Bengals to take care of business here, but they have to go and do it -- St. Louis isn't afraid of the Jungle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Fisher is developing a surprising reputation as a dirty coach. He can dispel that whole myth this week by just playing good old-fashioned fair football and not blitzing the crap out of our guards on every passing down. Have I mentioned that I expect them to blitz the crap out of our guards on every passing down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 It seems unlikely but stranger things have happened. I wonder whether Roethlisberger can stay upright for that many more games. I'll be very interested to see how he looks against Seattle.

GapControl Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Wrong forum and all but Bengalszone has been a part of my life for almost 10 years. If one of the Mods can find a better spot, please do, because I'd like to tell all my brethren Bengals fans that I got married on Sunday just before the Cards game! Wife and I watched it together for the first time in matrimony. If someone can help me adjust pic size, I'll post one of her in her Bengals gear in Okinawa and hell... I'll even put one of myself once I take it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
